The critical thinking meeting season is about to kick off, and the first big one in the US is NECSS: The Northeast Conference for Science and Skepticism. It’s from April 9 – 10 in New York City, and has a pretty cool list of speakers. I’m honored to be giving the keynote address, and there are lots of fun extracurricular activities planned as well.

Still not convinced? Then listen to the smooth basso of my pal George Hrab in this promo he put together for NECSS. He’ll be there too, and I bet we can convince him to do a song or two from his latest album.

Ooh, death-from-the-space man!
Alas, I won’t be there, seeing as how there is an ocean and half a continent between me and NY, but I hope you have a great time.
And _don’t_ get a professional headshot. This is perfect and sets you apart in the right way.

I don’t know what topics will be talked about but I hope science education in the U.S. is one ,its a crisis and needs to improve.Off Topic: For thoes over 40 who owned an Atari 2600,and have a Nintendo ds two volumes of Atari arcade and 2600 game have come out for the ds (thers a game of intelavision games to) volume 1 also has the verson of Battle Zone made for the Army volune 2 has a emulator of the Atari 400 computer (any one rember how to program a computer with BASIC I have’nt since high school).

Oooooo I wish I could go!!
Is there a similar event in California? Preferably the San Francisco bay area? 😀
We’ve got a huge variety of woo out here, so we can use all the science and skepticism we can get!

Off topic I am sure, but what model of cymbals are those, particularly the ride. It looks like they are Zildjian based on the stamp, but I don’t what line they are. They sound good. Nice tune, going to have to buy it from iTunes.
